Porthmawr was in no mood for putting out flags, and not a scrap of bunting flew to welcome Ashton Vaughan back after a long absence from the Welsh seaside town. He was a hopeless alcoholic drifter, and what was more he was a member of the notorious Vaughan family. Foreword by Philip Pullman. This novel was first published in 1964.

Lew Morgan and Gladstone Williams are two friends trying to make sense of their lives over a long hot summer in the north Wales seaside town of Porthmawr. It will be a summer that changes everything. When the charming but drunk Ashton Vaughan returns home to Porthmawr the primeval swamp of respectability he triggers a chain reaction of ruin, disillusion and death which keeps the whole town bubbling for most of the summer.
